What food have you thrown out this week?

God where to begin I hve tried making meal planners but they dont always work out what with the babys sleeping habits or OH work hours the food often tends to change. But I was only yhinking today about how I am fed up with trowing food out.

This week I threw out a pack of sausages that I realised were past their date, half a bottle of milk that smelt iffy, some babanas that went black, some cherry tomatoes that went srively, and their is a chicken breast that I think needs to be chucked when OH defrosted too much for a curry.

Problem is the freezer is jam packed with stuff for the kids so there was little room in there. Its a shame really becase OH work messed up his wages and gave him £30 :rolleyes: I had a tenner to feed a family of four, so its frosties for tea for me all week

I threw out 3 onions after investigating a horrible smell in the kitchen. Must admit they had morphed into a horrible mush:eek:

Great thread - I used to throw away tons. Since starting my money saving offensive, I'm pleased to say I have only thrown out the remains of one bag of parsley. But I did feel really guilty coz I should have chopped it & frozen it! The effect the DFW boards have on you...:rotfl:

Only so much parsley you can freeze.... and only so many uses for breadcrums - reckon I could make a couple of loaves out of what I have! Every time I have bread left over I've been crumbing it with diff mixtures of herbs & spices - all I need now are another 50 uses for them & I'll be well away, either that or birds will think I've gone all posh!!!

Nothing wasted in my house. With me & 3 teenagers the fridge is like one of those cartoons when ants or whatever consume everything in seconds. It's looking sadly neglected at the moment.

I threw out a lemon, some rice I cooked for OH but he didn't feel hungry (chemo kicking in), some old onions - which I had grown myself last year, so only effort wasted.

Oh, and half a gallon of orange squash left by the children in various places around the house!

ps use for breadcrumbs. Use them 50/50 with coconut in a pastry case. Pour on Golden Syrup. Cook to make a coconut tart. Also works with Weetabix. Not the healthiest of puddings but quick and easy in an emergency.;)

Wher has my spell check gone
